"Poor Man's RBPO": configuring backups

▤ Summary

This article walks through a practical backup setup for a local VirtualBox environment that hosts security and DevOps tools such as GitLab, Vault, Nexus, and DefectDojo. It shows a PowerShell script that stops each virtual machine, copies VM folders to a backup directory, restarts the VMs, and deletes older backups. It also covers execution policy settings, scheduling the script with Task Scheduler, and using a .cmd wrapper to run it reliably. The focus stays on operational resilience for a software lab rather than on a company announcement or market event.
